tie, let them come up here and judge for them
selves whether or not it requires both brain ant
muscle to successfully obtain the required results
Just now the harvest is in full blast and the ali
reverbrates with the sound of the mower anC
reaper and the sturdy commands to the faithful
beasts, upon whom much depends. The growing
crops are promising. Wheat and hay, while be-
low the yield of last year, will average well, and
the present glorious weather is just what the
farmer longed for to give fresh impetus to grow
ing plant and gathering the seasons product.
The next noticeable feature is the political wave
that is passing over this community, and it almost
makes yearn for the privilege of voting for al
the candidates that come along in order to please
our friends and aspirants. But we are determined
to support the candidate whom we are assured will
have at heart our best interests-vain promises
etc., to the contrary Notwithstanding. Two Of
our neighbors, Messrs. Edward S. Peerce and
Thomas S. Halle, lifelong residents and gentle
men of wel-known ability, are on the ticket and
deserve the support that is being literally prom
ised.
The school at Sweet Air closed on Thursday
after q session of entire satisfaction to both pa
irons and teachers. Miss NJ. L. Daugherty, the
principal, will spend the summer in the West

munity who unite in wishing them an enjoyable
ana SaIo return TO their Nelu OF usefulness
that is duly appreciated.
Alexander NJ. Morrison, Esq, is entertaining, in
his well-known hospitable manner, Mr.. John T.
Morris, president of the Baltimore School Board
whom we trust will be thoroughly recuperated in
health by his sojourn among US. In the recent
death of his brother, VIM. II. Morris, this commu-
nifty was deeply panied and shocked. Having re-
sided here several years ago he endeared himself
to all classes. He was man of kind, affectionate

The building boom is steadily increasing Mrs
A. johnson isimproving her place by comfortable
dwelling, and her son, John johnson, who has the
contract, reports work brisk. In removing the
old building, which has stood for generations, q
number of Spanish and American coins were found
with dates of a hundred years ago.
Mr.. Samuel W. Porter has his hands full, with
force at work both here and in Hartford county.
He and his son John W. are agents for the i'm
proved hay fork and are busy receiving orders and
placing the forks in position. The mystery now
with the farmers is how they ever managed to get
along without the patent considering it of inesti-
mable assistance. They have just completed a
large building for Mr.. James Kane, whose highly
cultivated farm ranks among the foremost.
Mr.. G. W. Francis is about finishing q commo
dious building, the upper part to be used for stor
ing hay and grain while the lower part will be
fitted up with box stalls and comfortable quarters
for horses. I hear he will winter and utilize his
extensive pasture lands for pasturing horses the
coming season.
Last week the death of Uncle Grafton QuigIey
an aged and highly respected coored man, was
noticed He was one of the oldest settlers, and by
his exemplary life won the confidence of every one
His funeral was largely attended and the Rev
George Morrison preached the sermon.

General Trimble, for the season. The General is
still travelling through the West. :
William H. Webster, Esq, one of our esteemed
residents, has just returned from Washington
where he spent delightful time seeing the sights
of that city.
heard of an individual who paid for his back
hair to be clipped, and when he awoke he found
the entire crop, forelock and all, clippered. Oh
another who was severely injured by a splinter
and of third who imagined himself bitten by a
mad dog, but of the three, that Towsontown bar
ber's life is in the greatest jeopardy.

Hebbville, I'd District.-Children's Day al
Emmart's Church on Sunday afternoon was very
enjoyable. The programme was replete in every
part and the participants acquitted themselves
we'll. The church was beautifully decorated with
wreaths and trailing vines, interpreted with bou
quets and floral chaplets, the latter artisticaIly
interviewer into Bible. Prof. Rhineholt presided
at the organ. The audience was so large that the
church, though spacious, could not accommodate
them all. Rev. Mr.. .Cronin was present. Mr.
VIM. Riddle is superintendent of the school and
Mr.. Franklin Emmart, assistant.
That part of the old Rolling road known as the
Mill road is certainly in very bad condition.
Mr.. Herman Piel is the supervisor and it is his
duty to to it, which, if he does not will be re-
ported to the Commissioners. There are stone
already broken along the side of the road and il
would be but little trouble to put them on. Should
a spindle, axle or spring be broken in the holes
and runaway occur, the county would be held
responsible for damage to life limb or property
and be made pay for it. Therefore it would be
well if said supervisor repair this road and remove
the dirt and trash that make the fronts along the
Dogwood road so unsightly.
Mr.. VIM. Piel has done good job on the old
Rolling road, in front of Emmart's Church, by
raising the bed of the road and thereby filing up
unsightly cesspool, which, during rainy weather
made ingress and egress to and from the church
almost impossible.
The ladies say that Squire Fishpaw deserves
great credit, as he was the cniy gentleman who
put in an appearance to assist them in decorating
St. Luke's Church for Childrens Day.
Mrs. Spicer has sued Mr.. Parlett, road super.
visor, for blockading the front and rear of hel
property. The case was tried before Squire Chap
man. Mr.. James Durham appeared for Mrs
Spicer and Major Yellott for MIR. Parlett. The
case has not been settled at this writing.
Mr.. Lemuel Compton lives on the place adjoin
ing Mrs. Arthur's, which Mr.. Ellsworth Upton hal
rented. Messrs Compton and McKitrick conduc
the milk business. One of their cows got in Mr.
Upton's place, which he put in the barn yard ant
personally informed Mr.. Compton. The latte
gentleman sent for the COW, but in the meantim,
she broke out of the enclosure. Mr.. Upton go
his gun and put two loads of shot into the side o
the cow and then forced her through barbed wir,
fence, which cut her very badly, for all of which
Mr.. Compton has sued Mr.. E. Upton before 'Squir
Fishpaw. 1t is regretted that two neighbors ant
heretofore good friends should thus become antag
onistic, and it is hoped the affair will be amcabl,
settled between the parties before it comes to
trial, as it will save both great deal of trouble.
The new fence in front of the Salem Church i
quite an improvement as we'll as great protec
ton.
A hot political contest is brewing in this dis
trict. Cornelius Shipley and Frank Parlett ar
quietly marshaing their forces upon one sid
and DR.. Hebb upon the other. The victory, NJ
doubt, will be in the Dr.'s favor.
The farmers throughout this section have com
menced harvesting in earnest, and by the 4th o
July very little if any grain will be standing
The yield will be rather more than an average
The grass crop will be exceedingly heavy, which
no doubt, will bring hay down to a very low figure
